Brisbane Lions’ Indigenous players Cedric Cox and Allen Christensen believe that the guernsey and Sir Doug Nicholls round are a special opportunity to recognise the culture and history of Indigenous communities such as theirs.

“It’ll make me very proud to see the boys donning this guernsey,” said Christensen.

“Not only will the boys have the opportunity to represent mine and Cedric’s families, they will also represent the Aboriginal community around Brisbane.”

Unfortunately, Christensen is set to miss this weekend’s Indigenous round as he continues to overcome a shoulder injury obtained earlier in the season.

Cedric Cox is is excited for the Club to showcase what the jumper means to him and his family.

“I cannot wait for us to show the crowd how much this means to my family and to the Club,” said Cox.

The Round 10 Indigenous match will be played against Collingwood this Sunday afternoon at the MCG.

The 2017 Indigenous Guernsey can be purchased ahead of the weekend’s match instore in the Lions Shop or online at lionsshop.com.au
